You ever get the feeling that you're wasting your time? What if you suddenly realized that you have lost 400+ hours of time per year, that weren't spent sleeping, working, or being with the family? A good friend today pointed me to something that now seems obvious... The average person drives 15k miles per year. Averaging 35MPh (my average, according to my travel computer), this amounts to over 400 hours spent in the truck per year. The guy that shared this with me travels closer to 40k, but that explains a lot :)
This 400 hours a year is time I've always spent listening to my favorite CDs or to the radio. This is time that could've been more productive. I have audio recordings of seminars and conferences, there are downloadable audio books on every facet of self-improvement, from parenting to organizational skills, to running a home business. Listening to these things while driving makes perfect sense. I want my 4900 hours of self-improvement time back.
